Any sentiment rating above 25 is considered positive, below 0 is considered negative, while 0-25 is considered neutral. Changes in sentiment are also crucial in understanding and interpreting a company’s sentiment ahead of an event like earnings. Finally, market forces need to be considered to make sure overall market sentiment changes are not overly influencing a stock’s individual sentiment.

Piqqem released its weekly technology sentiment update for the week ending June 11, 2010, and although the overall Piqqem technology index was relatively flat, the semiconductor sector showed a sharp decline and is now down 10 points from its high on April 16. This index seemed to forecast the overall decline in the market with the worst May in history. Broadcom (BRCD) and Sandisk (SNDK) lead the semiconductor index lower this week. Within the technology sectors, the semiconductor index was down 1.50 to end at 26.46, software and gaming was down .97 to end at 28.54, hardware and networking was down .44 to end at 31.05, and finally internet and mobile rose .17 to finish at 22.59. A sentiment rating of 25 and above is considered positive. The piqqem sentiment index has been heading down for the entire year. The big question is whether sentiment will reverse its trend and move positive in spite of the European debt crisis and the weak job market.

Amazon - Q1 2010 Sentiment Stabilizes Ahead of Earnings
Amazon’s Q1 2010 sentiment decreased by 4 points for the quarter. As a comparison, sentiment for the NASDAQ index dropped 16 pts in the same period, which accounts for some of Amazon’s overall sentiment decline. On the Piqqem scale, Amazon’s sentiment rating of 29.09 is considered a buy and its absolute sentiment indicates a high quality stock. Only Amazon knows their actual results, but current sentiment points to the on-line retail giant delivering relatively good news on Thursday.

I believe that the stock is due for a price correction. The success of the i-Pad remains a mystery, I don't think even Jobs knows who is his the target market for i-Pad. Nonetheless there hype IS a temporarily hype but I expect the a more fundamental price of about $215-$220.

I think it's probably WORTH $300, but I'm not sure I see it getting there in the next 6 months.
